No. The oxidation number is the charge on the atom of an element, or if the bonding is covalent, what that charge would be if that bonding were ionic.
A "molecule" with an electrical charge would be a polyatomic ion, not a molecule.
The oxidation state of nitrogen in the molecule N2 is 0. This is because, in a diatomic molecule like N2, the atoms have an equal sharing of electrons, resulting in no charge imbalance or oxidation state.
The oxidation number of Mn in the molecule Mn2 would be 0.
It is equal to zero. In pure elemental form.
The oxidation number of I in I2O5 is +5, because oxygen has an oxidation number of -2 and the overall charge of the molecule is 0. The sum of the oxidation numbers in a molecule must equal the overall charge of the molecule.
The loss of electrons is called oxidation because it involves the increase in oxidation state of an atom or molecule. Oxidation is characterized by the loss of electrons from a substance, leading to an increase in positive charge or a decrease in negative charge.
Only chlorine has a diatomic molecule biut any ion is 2-..
The oxidation state of nitrogen in the molecule N2 is 0. This is because, in a diatomic molecule like N2, the atoms have an equal sharing of electrons, resulting in no charge imbalance or oxidation state.
The oxidation number of Mn in the molecule Mn2 would be 0.

the oxidation states are always 0 for both atoms
Iodine, I2, has a charge of 0 since it is in its elemental form and is a diatomic molecule. It does not have a net charge or ionic charge.
The oxidation number of glycerol is 0, as it is a neutral molecule with no charge.
The oxidation number of an element in its elemental form is always zero. Chemical compounds forming diatomic molecules may have elements in non zero oxidation number e.g. in HCl, H is +1 and Cl is -1.
Reduction = addition of electrons. Generally negatively charged species is formed as a result
